If I want to fundraise, what do I do?

Click on the ‘Get Started’ button and follow the prompts to register. After setting up your fundraising page you can start to ask for donations from your family, friends and colleagues via Facebook or email - templates can be found under My Dashboard.

Can I ask others to help fundraise?

If you selected Host a Game and made your event public, you have the ability to invite others to be part of your ‘team’ for fundraising purposes. Every member of your team is a fundraiser for your event in their own right and has their own fundraising page. That’s why you have an overall team fundraising goal and each fundraiser sets an individual goal.

Please note that inviting someone to be part of your fundraising team does NOT mean they have to attend your event. That’s completely up to you. Your event can even be ‘virtual’ in that it is simply established for assembling a team of fundraisers working towards a common goal.

If I host a game, do I have to give money?

The World Games For Wildlife are a celebration of people getting together to support the world’s wonderful wildlife and to help Nature Needs More ensure their survival in the wild.

While, no one is obliged to give a donation, as the host it may be difficult to encourage your players and guests to make a donation if you, as the host, don’t contribute yourself.

Does everyone who attends the event have to give money?

Not everyone who attends your game has to donate money, but your host may ask you to share the bill of putting on the event, particularly if it is held at a club venue or similar where a booking incurs costs.

How do I ask people for donations?

You can e-mail your friends, family and colleagues directly from the fundraising dashboard by clicking on the 'Send Email’ tab.You can use the e-mail template provided or write your own message to request donations.

Fundraising

Will you help me promote my event?

It is much more effective to use your own social media and friends to advertise your fundraising activity or game. Remember that you can use the training for your race or game to ask people for donations and to keep them informed about what you are doing.

Where does the money raised go to?

All money raised goes to innovative ways to tackle the illegal trade in our precious wildlife such as in elephant ivory or rhino horn. Please visit www.natureneedsmore.org to learn more.
